or this special issue we interviewed members
of NCC’s Class of ’69, the college’s first graduation year.
Their memories reveal some common impressions — the sparseness of the hilltop campus those first two
years and a ‘do life’ attitude that sprung from their collective ambitions;
an attitude that clearly characterizes the Northampton community to this day.
schools. Other graduates put their Northampton
knowledge to work establishing successful careers
in business, education and healthcare. Some have built respected
reputations in the Lehigh Valley;
others are scattered around the
country. Without exception, those
whom we interviewed spoke of
being transformed, in one way or another, by their
experiences at the college in those
first two years.
Today, the college probably owes
as much to these first pioneers for
its success as they feel they owe the
college. The impressions they made here during
Northampton’s formative years must
have had a major impact in determining what NCC is today.
Their comments, combined
with the aspirations of a sampling
of incoming students, make for an inspiring read.
Marlene Bayer, our tour guide on
this expedition, is a freelance writer
who lives in Bethlehem with her
husband and two children. She
attended NCC as a psychology
student in ’79 during her senior year
in high school and most recently as a journalism
student in the distance learning program.
Paul Joly, Editor
One by one these members of a brand new
college’s first class talk about feeling like pioneers.
They recall a camaraderie among students, faculty
and staff that comes from sharing the risk of committing professional careers and futures to a yet
unproven institution.They describe hastily-built
classroom structures still under construction
when the college’s first students arrived. There
are stories, only slightly exaggerated in the retelling,
of NCC’s first president, Richard Richardson, building shelves for the library and pitching in to get
his own administrative offices finished during that
first semester.
It’s interesting, the 1969 graduates’ most vivid
memories aren’t of each other, but of particularly
dedicated instructors and administrators who left
life-lasting impressions. The teachers clearly were
caught up in the excitement of contributing to a
new educational venture. All of them: administrators, faculty, and students, helped get the place up
and running. They were moving furniture one day,
and the next they were voting on school colors
and choosing a mascot.
Many of the first graduates were kids who, for
various reasons, wouldn’t have had the advantage
of a college degree at all if they hadn’t found their
way up to NCC’s ‘army barracks’ campus that first
year. A good number now credit their Northampton
education for helping propel them through nationally prestigious four-year colleges and graduate

JOANN KOSTENBADER
J
oAnn Kostenbader found it a pleasant but surreal
experience to attend school in the quonset hut
classrooms in 1967.
“When I was sitting in psych class, I was also sitting
in my cornfield!”
Kostenbader’s father, Gilbert Thompson, owned the
300-acre prime piece of Northampton County farmland
where the college is situated today. According to his
daughter, Mr.Thompson sold his land to the college
because he wanted it to be used for something good.
Kostenbader said,“My dad had Parkinson’s disease
and was ill for many years. He finally was unable to
work the dairy farm he established on the property,
but he refused to sell the land to the housing developers
who wanted it. He said ‘If I have to sell, it is going to do
somebody some good.’”
And it has. Hundreds of thousands have benefited
from their studies on the former farm site, not the least of
whom is JoAnn Kostenbader, a magna cum laude graduate
in the first class of ’69.
“Being at NCC was great!” she said. “There was
nothing there when we started. It was all experimental,
so everyone — the instructors, the administration — was
willing to work with the students. It was very creative —
we got to choose things like our school colors, orange and
white, and our mascot, the
Spartans. It was great to
be creating everything.
The college did not even
have a name when we
first started.”
“We had so much
fun!” she said. “I met
my husband, Brent at
NCC. We worked on
the school paper
together. I was a
cheerleader for the
intramural teams —
he played basketball and football.
Most of us were
very involved in
the campus,
which was small
enough so that it felt like
a family.”
Kostenbader particularly
remembers original faculty
contributing to the community feeling of the college.
“The instructors were so
open and willing to listen to
the students. They actually
cared about how we were
doing,” she said. “Dr. Richardson, the college
president, had an open door policy like the
rest of the staff.”
“I worked for Dr.Alfredo de los Santos, dean of
instructional resources,” said Kostenbader. “We still
exchange Christmas cards every year. I’ll never forget how
we were standing outside with Dr. de los Santos, who was
from Texas, the first time he saw snow!”
Kostenbader remembers the course work as being
challenging and competitive.
“We were not accredited at that time,” she said,“I think
the college felt it had to prove itself. The work was harder
than we thought going in. There were only 64 graduates
in that first class. We earned those degrees!”
Kostenbader found that her college degree was
an important part of getting on with her life when her
husband Brent died suddenly of a heart attack at the age
of 37. They had married the same year they graduated
from NCC, and had two daughters, still school age at the
time of his death.
“When my husband died, my AA degree opened
doors for me down the road that would not have opened
otherwise,” she said.
Kostenbader is currently an area supervisor for LA
Weight Loss, in charge of five different local centers, with
18 years of retail management experience under her belt.
“I love it!” she said, of the 12–14-hour days she routinely puts in. Kostenbader is a single parent, and lives with
her 83-year-old mother, across town from the college and
farmland she loved.
“My dad died before he could see the college up
and running — but he did see the ‘Army barracks’!”
Kostenbader said. “Having the college on my land makes
me feel good about my dad. So many people have had
the opportunity to advance themselves here.”

ERNEST BARBARICS
O
n the day of his high school
graduation, Ernest Barbarics had
a plan. He had been accepted at
Florida Tech, and was headed south to
study computer science and pursue a
career with great opportunities.
But two days after graduation, Ernest
Barbarics was lying on a bed in St. Luke’s
Hospital, paralyzed from the shoulder
blades down.
He had fallen from a tree, and
would spend the next 13 weeks in the
hospital, slowly recovering.
“Gradually, feeling came back to me,” said Barbarics. “I
was eventually able to leave the hospital using a walker. I
was left with a limp and still use a cane to this day.”
That things could have turned out differently is not
lost on Barbarics. He said,“I moved ahead with my life. I
couldn’t run, ski or ice skate anymore, but I could walk.”
In February 1966, six months after he had originally
planned, Barbarics entered Florida Tech and earned a oneyear computer program certificate.
“I did well at Florida Tech, but decided to come back
to Bethlehem for a couple of reasons,” he said. “My condition, for one thing. I was still recovering, and it was easier
on my parents to have me here. Plus NCC was opening.
The college was close to home, the cost was reasonable
and it seemed a good place to continue my interest in
computers.”
Barbarics found that he made the right decision in
coming to NCC.
“I really enjoyed my two years at NCC,” said Barbarics.
“Being a member of the first class was a great privilege.
The instructors and college life were great — I enjoyed
the rural setting and attending classes with people I knew.
I was interested in my field and the subjects I took.”
Barbarics earned his associate degree in computer
science and worked for Honeywell in Allentown while
going to college.
“I received a good foundation in computer science
at NCC,” he said. “It gave me marketable skills in the
information technology profession.”
Barbarics has enjoyed a successful career working in
computer programming and operations for major corporations such as Honeywell, Ingersoll Rand and Cigna. He
now works at Johnson & Johnson as a computer analyst.
“I remember the day of orientation,” he said. “We sat
around in a big circle in the middle of the grass in the
middle of the square. The way it was set up, I felt special.
I really felt a part of the whole thing happening, with the
college being built right in my township.
“And I remember the college president, Richard
Richardson, giving the commencement address,” Barbarics
continued. “He spoke eloquently about the beginning of
NCC and the new beginnings in our lives. He told us to
go out and change the world.”
While Barbarics may not have changed the world, he
has certainly been able to keep up with it.
“I have been able to grow in a field that has been
steadily changing through the years,” he said. “It is always
interesting and new. I have been able to keep up and
improve my economic life. NCC gave me a great foundation for what I am doing today and what the world is
doing today.”
Barbarics has been to the campus several times over
the years to take computer classes.
“The college is a lot more sophisticated and keeping
in time with things,” he said. “There is a greater diversity
of subjects and people. I am very impressed with it all —
the academics, all the new classes and opportunities, as
well as the campus itself.”
A serious fisherman outside of work, Barbarics
enjoys this pastime with his wife of 32 years, Julie. They
have two grown children who pursued college educations
and careers.

ARTHUR ANTONIONI
A
rthur Antonioni, assistant principal at Saucon Valley
High School, proudly displays his framed NCC
diploma on a tall cabinet in his office. “I tell my
students who have no idea what they are going to do or
where they are going to go after graduation about NCC,”
he said.
In 1967,Antonioni was himself a less than stellar high
school senior, graduating with just ‘ok’ grades and no particular plans for his future.
“I am a great believer in birth order,” he said,“and I was
the classic underachieving second child, determined not to
walk in the footsteps of my older sister,
three years my senior, with her excellent
grades and plans for her future. I worried
more about my social life and having fun
than I did about my grades, let alone my
future.”
Antonioni was planning on enlisting in
the Navy when a guidance counselor in the
Hellertown/Lower Saucon school district told
him about NCC.
“At first semester mid-term, my GPA
was a 1.5. But by the end of the first semester, it was a 3.0 and for the last three semesters,
I made Dean’s list,” he said.
In fact,Antonioni was a 3.25 honors graduate at
NCC, earning an AA in education.
Now, more than 30 years later,Antonioni can
boast of a career spanning almost three decades, all
of which was spent in the very arena he had cared so
little about years ago — public education.
He went on to Kutztown State College to earn
a BS in 1971, and in 1987 he earned a M.Ed. in secondary school administration from Lehigh University.
“I credit the good, supportive instructors at NCC
for helping me realize I had to get myself together and
get serious about my future,”Antonioni said.“The small
number of students and staff became a family.”
In 1971, right out of Kutztown,Antonioni became
an eighth-grade American history teacher in the
Saucon Valley School District, and was there for 19
years. In 1989, he transferred to the high school to
teach 11th grade. In 1991 he became the acting
assistant principal for the high school and for the past
eight years he has been the assistant principal.
“In 1967, if someone had told me I’d be a teacher,
administrator, assistant principal — and hopefully a
principal someday — I would have said they were
crazy!”Antonioni laughed. “NCC changed my life
by making me focus on what
I wanted to do for the rest
of my life.”

PAT GAYLOR
P
at Gaylor graduated from
Liberty High School in 1967,
the oldest of six children, all of
whom her mother determined would
get a college education.
NCC was the means by which
Gaylor’s mother accomplished this,
sending five of her six children to the
community college through the years.
All moved on to advanced degrees
and good jobs.
Gaylor entered the first class
at NCC looking for some direction for her future.
“I did not know what I wanted to do yet, what career
path I wanted to pursue,” Gaylor said. “NCC offered an
affordable way for me to explore different options.”
Gaylor liked that the college was small and personal.
“I loved the camaraderie of the students and staff,” she
said. “The instructors and administrators took a genuine
interest in the well-being of the students. I remember the
modular buildings, and being ‘out in the country’ then —
but the physical appearance did not faze me. I didn’t know
any better!”
Gaylor majored in liberal arts at NCC and by the time
she graduated with an AA in education, she had found
direction.
“I was accepted into the nursing program at Cornell,”
she said. “I was very proud and excited to be going there.
NCC turned out to be a very good foundation for Cornell. I
felt like I was on the same level with the other students,
some of whom had already completed prestigious four-year
colleges like Skidmore. I was absolutely able to keep step
academically with those students.”
Gaylor graduated in 1971 with her BS in nursing,
and came back to Bethlehem to work at St. Luke’s Hospital
for one year.
It was then that Gaylor was finally ready to spread her
wings, and she literally took off for the skies.
“I filled out a coupon from a nursing journal about the
Air Force,” she said,“and in 1972, found myself commissioned into the USAF Nursing Corps.”
Gaylor never looked back.
Her 20-year career encompassed world-wide travel and
involvement in the historic moments of the times.
FALLON MAGGIO
“I
am thrilled to be moving on to college,” said
Fallon Maggio of entering NCC’s class of
’02 this fall. “I have been ready to graduate
from high school for two years now!”
Maggio, a 2000 graduate of Easton Area
High School, is excited enough that she took summer courses
at the college to get a jumpstart.
Maggio said that NCC comes highly recommended to her.
“I did not even consider any other schools,” she said. “My
high school really ‘hypes up’ NCC. They tell us what a great
educational program it offers, and that it is very comparable
to many four year colleges.”
Maggio has yet another source, closer to her heart, advocating NCC. Her mother received her degree in education
from NCC 10 years ago, and is currently a teacher in the
Easton School District.
“My mother thinks starting at the community college is
still a great idea,” said Maggio.
Maggio plans on using her experience at NCC to help
decide her future and is excited about taking her first steps
on a career path here no matter where that path may lead.
Active in musical theatre since childhood, Maggio wants
to join theatre programs on campus. She also expects to continue her volunteer work here at the college radio station,
reading newspapers on-air for the blind.
“I also chose NCC because it is close to home,” said
Maggio.“My grandmother is at Country Meadows, across from
campus, and I spend alot of time with her.
“When I’ve visited friends who are away at school, I see a
lot of distractions that I am just not looking for. Right now, I
want to focus on my education and do a good job.”
6
“I was stationed in
California, and worked
with the Vietnam prisoners of war coming
through,” she said. “I
was stationed at the Air
Force Hospital in the
Philippines. In Germany,
I was the nurse manager
of the 77th Nursing
Unit. I took care of the
injured marines who
were stationed at the
embassy in Beirut when
it was bombed in 1983.
The Marines were airtransported to our hospital in Wiesbaden. I
remember dealing with their traumas and wounds — it was
so chaotic, we were cleaning dirt and debris out of their ears
and hair from the explosion.”
Gaylor’s career with the Air Force also included auspicious positions state-side.
“I was stationed in New Mexico in the late 80s,” she
said. “I was a project manager and deputy director of a project that saved the federal government millions of dollars. It
involved consolidating defense department and veteran
affairs medical facilities.”
Gaylor was selected for Air Force sponsored graduate
training and received her masters degree in nursing administration from Louisiana State University in 1981.
She retired from the Air Force in 1992, and currently
works in administration for an HMO and a hospital in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is married to a hydrogeologist, and they have two school-aged children.
Gaylor went back to the NCC campus in 1990, to help a
friend register for classes.
“I was in awe of how much the campus has changed
over the years,” she said. “I wouldn’t have recognized it —
it has grown tremendously.”
“NCC laid the foundation to have all kinds of doors
opened for me,” Gaylor said. “I have seen the world. NCC
led me to broader things.”
Gaylor would advise new students: “Stick with it!
Your education at NCC can lead to all kinds of wonderful
opportunities.”
DAVID LAVINO
D
avid Lavino sees obtaining an education
as a means to an end. For him, the end is
employment and NCC is a way of getting there.
“My father believes in going to school for the
sake of learning and becoming educated,” said Lavino.
“And that is fine. But for me, I am going to college in
order to get a job.”
Lavino is wasting no time in reaching for his goal.
A student at Nazareth High School up until last fall,
Lavino arranged an alternate senior year for himself that
included concurrent home schooling and course work
at NCC. By the time he enters NCC as a computer science major this fall, he will have earned his high school
diploma and a certificate in computer graphics design
from NCC.
“I had been in a work-study program at my high
school where I alternated going to school one week with work
the next,” explained Lavino. “The program lost funding my
junior year and was no longer offered. I researched exactly
what courses I needed to graduate, and found that the school
required courses I didn’t need in order to get my diploma.”
Lavino worked at home on the required high school courses, and supplemented these with general education, and then
computer courses at NCC. This initiative led to Lavino earning a
certificate in his chosen field before he even began college.
“I’m hoping to use my computer certificate to get a part-time
job while I’m in school,” said Lavino, “possibly at a newspaper,
or a Web design company.”
7
Lavino’s choice of
college major will give
him options upon
graduation. “I can go in
two directions with the
computer science
major,” said Lavino. “I
can take the two-year
applied science degree,
or go into the transfer
program. I still am not
sure exactly what I
want to do when I
graduate from NCC yet.
It will depend on the
job market.”
Lavino knows the
job market in his field
is growing right now, but still feels the pressure of competition for those jobs. “My dad works for Lucent Technologies,” said Lavino. “There are over 50 positions listed for
computer programmers on the Internet for that company
alone. But if you don’t have a good enough education, you
won’t be able to get those jobs, or support yourself and a
family in the future.”
Lavino also chose NCC for a reason given by many new
college students. “I don’t want to move away from home
yet,” said Lavino, who along with school and part-time work,
commits 70 hours a month to volunteer work at his church.
“NCC is close by and can help me reach my goals.”
EARL IHRIE
W
hen Earl Ihrie travels
internationally, he surprisingly finds himself thinking
about his education at NCC.
“I remember being at the art
museum in Amsterdam, looking at a
Rembrandt and thinking,‘We talked
about that in college,” Ihrie said. “My
understanding and appreciation of
art and music spun off of the courses I took at NCC.”
Ihrie entered the first class at
NCC as a liberal arts major because he was not sure what
he wanted to do with his future. “I was right out of high
school and had not been academically outstanding as a
student. My aunt, who taught in the Easton school district,
told me about NCC; she said it sounded like a good deal,
that it could really be for me.”
He vividly remembers the early years.“The campus was
not even there yet, so I had an interview off-site at a bank in
Easton,” Ihrie continued. “An advisor talked with me and
helped me to map out a series of courses, to make a plan for
a liberal arts education.”
Ihrie, an out of state student from across the river in
Phillipsburg, was not put off
by the physical aspects of the
campus when he arrived.
“I thought it was interesting,” he said. “New, young,
different — not like a traditional college in terms of aesthetics. I just thought of it as an
opportunity.”
Ihrie took being a member of the first class at NCC
seriously.
“Being the first at
anything is important,” he said.
“We were the first and our
success was a very strong
reflection on NCC. I felt that I
had to be successful if only for
the college and the opportunity it provided for me.”
But Ihrie remembers his
first semester at NCC as being
‘a little rough.’
“I was putting a lot of
work into my studies, but my
grades were just ok,” he said.
“The college had an academic
counseling group headed up
by one of the psych professors. About 20 of us showed
up. We discussed our grades,
our study habits, ways to
improve them both. I remember thinking,‘These guys really
care about us.’ Things got
better after that.”
By the time Ihrie graduated from NCC with an AA in
liberal arts, he knew what he
wanted to do. He went into
the biology field, earning a BA
from California State College
ANDREA LUECKE
(now California University of Pa.), and a
MS in microbiology from Rutgers.
Ihrie has enjoyed a successful career
working in research and development for
major pharmaceutical companies. He is
currently with Merial Limited, the veterinary research division of Merck and Co.,
working as a manager in quality assurance.
Ihrie’s favorite memories of NCC
involve the positive attitude of the faculty
and their commitment to the students.
“I particularly remember taking a
German course taught by Mrs. Naime
Bishr” he said. “She was a unique
individual who taught a very good class —
not at all dry. She asked me ‘What do you
really want to do when you graduate from
here?’ I said ‘I want to study biology and
science.’And she said,‘Then that is what
you must do — just go ahead and do it!’
It was the first time someone had asked
me a question like that, the first time I ever
really thought about my future that way.
So I did it.”
Ihrie has been married for 26 years
and has a daughter Katherine who is
currently a student in early childhood
education at NCC.
“My daughter has the same personality as me, and that translates into having
the same experiences,” he said. “She
started off, like me, having some trouble
at school but has found that she can
actually get her degree at NCC in a field
that she likes and in which she has work
experience.”
Ihrie appreciates NCC for being the
beginning of his stepping-stone educational plan.
“I went to a small two year college
first,” explains Ihrie. “Then moved on to a
medium-sized four year college, and finally
ended up at a large university. I did well
at all of them. If I had gone to a larger
college first, I would have been lost. Going
to NCC was the best thing for me to do.”
Ihrie is at the NCC campus fairly
often for activities relating to his daughter’s education.“It is a world of difference
from the small place on the other side of
the street where I went! My impression of
the college today is that I think it would
be a great place to come back to and teach
a science course.”
W
hen Andrea Luecke gave the valedictory address to her Pen Argyl
High School classmates this past summer, she spoke of beginnings and endings, as valedictorians traditionally do.
Luecke, a business administration major, is a recipient of the NCC
Presidential Ambassador scholarship that provides full tuition to high
school seniors based on academic achievement and leadership potential.
The young woman demonstrates two qualities essential to leadership:
she has high aspirations, but takes nothing for granted.
For example, being named class valedictorian.
Luecke said,“In tenth grade, the school begins to let you know your
GPA is one of the highest, and at the end of the third marking period
senior year, you know.”
Luecke admits to studying a lot and putting hard work into her
classes. She plans on obtaining her AA degree at NCC, then transferring
to a four year college.
As class valedictorian, Luecke received her fair share of interest from
various colleges.
“I am not sure what I want to do for a career yet,” she said.“And I
didn’t want to go far from home yet, either. NCC is close to home, less
expensive and a place where I can keep my options open as I find out
what it is I like to do.”
Luecke, who graduated from a small high school said,“College is
going to be such a new environment for me. Going to NCC will let me
find out what college is all about without having to make too big of an
adjustment all at once.”

LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE TAKES SHAPE
T
here is no frigate like a
CD-ROM.
Emily Dickinson did not
pen that line, but if she were
alive today, she might have.
No longer do books alone
have the power to transport
our minds beyond the confines of geography and experience. Now CD-ROMs, the
Internet, videos and DVDs all
can “take us lands away.”
Renovations to the NCC
library will soon enable students to take advantage of all
these resources.A “technology
tower” opening this fall will
feature 68 computers that can
be used both for instruction and for
research.Another will consolidate
the periodical collection and offer
access to electronic databases.A
third will become a multi-media
center housing the College’s video,
CD-ROM, and DVD collections.
“We’re excited about the improvements,” says Olga Conneen, director
of library services, “but technology
alone does not make a good library.
Our emphasis will be on service.” In
the technology tower, the library
staff will provide “Info Lit” classes to
teach students how to find reliable
information on the Internet and in
electronic databases.
“Some students need help with
the basics, like how to enter a URL,”
Conneen explains. “Others may be
able to call up thousands of sources
on a topic like cancer.They need to
learn how to limit their searches
and how to evaluate the validity of
those sources.”
Planning for the modernization
project began two years ago.“We
spent a lot of time getting input
from students and faculty,” says
Conneen.The staff also visited other
libraries and consulted with the

ERVICE LEARNING: Students have more
opportunities than ever to get involved in
the community as part of their coursework.
Started last year, the program was an immediate
hit with students.The approach is gaining popularity nationwide. The New York Times reports
that hundreds of colleges and universities are
incorporating public service into the curriculum “to create a responsible citizenship, not just
train students for jobs.”
PEAKING OF JOBS: Students preparing
for careers in the rapidly growing field of
information technology will benefit from internships and other opportunities made possible
through a Link-to-Learn grant. NCC was one of
only 26 colleges selected to receive this funding
from the Pennsylvania. Department of
Education.
VEN MORE CHOICES: Students earning
associate’s degrees in computer information technology may now choose concentrations
in networking or software development.The selection of specialized diplomas has also expanded to
include computer animation; web site development, design or administration; networking administration;A+ computer technician; office computer
specialist; help desk operations; electronics technology and customer service professional.
RIENDLY FACES: 19 new full-time faculty
members bring impressive backgrounds and
a lot of enthusiasm to the classroom.
N ALL-STAR LINE-UP: Speakers and performers scheduled to appear on campus
this fall include political commentators Jeff Cohen
and Cliff Kincaid of CNN fame, violinist Martha
Curtis, and artist Jose Torres Tama. For a complete
listing, see the back cover.
EN’S SOCCER: After a year of club play, the
team is expected to make an immediate
impact as it moves to varsity status for the fall season. The men’s baseball and women’s volleyball
teams both look to repeat as conference champs
and bring home state titles.
RECORD-BREAKING GRANT: The $3 million the College recently received from
Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental
Protection is the largest grant in NCC history. It will
enable the Electrotechnology Applications Center
(ETAC) to help even more small to mid-size manufacturing firms reduce air pollution.
AUSE FOR CELEBRATION: There’s room to
grow in Monroe. A special dedication ceremony at 5 p.m on October 12 will showcase the
new classrooms, science lab, community room,
child care center and the high tech learning
resource center that opened this fall at NCC’s
Monroe Campus.

known for its work with other
libraries including the Free Library
of Philadelphia.
Improvements will be made in
stages over the next 12 months to
avoid disruptions in service.
Changes will include moving the circulation and reference desks to
make it easier for students to get
help, sprucing up group study
rooms, expanding the test proctoring area to accommodate growth in
distance learning, wiring the study
carrels so students can use laptops
there, and relocating some of the
books that obstruct the panoramic
view from the library’s windows.
Despite the current emphasis on
technology, Conneen believes books
will continue to have an important
place in the library of the new millennium.“Videos did not replace
movie theatres,” she points out,“and
ATM cards did not replace banks.”
However, the librarian also notes
with a smile that Yogi Berra once
said, “‘It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.’”

A PIONEER TEACHER AND DOER OF ALL OTHER JOBS
BY JAMES L. JOHNSON
‘89
T
he sense of controlled panic filled
the August air of 1967. In less
than two months a new community college would open its doors,
but so much was still to be done.
Curriculum to be finalized. Students
and faculty still being signed up.And
in the middle of it all, the library’s
bookshelves are lost in shipping limbo.
Is this a problem?
Retired mathematics professor Ken
Kochey remembers the simple solution
adding up to teamwork.“We got a
bunch of cement blocks and some long
boards. Then we got everyone together,
administrators and faculty, built the
shelves and stocked them with books
over a single weekend. Like everything
we did back then, everybody pitched
in and did what needed doing. By the
time we opened in October we were
ready.”
Once the doors were open, Kochey
did much more than teach.“I had three
titles — assistant to the president, associate dean for continuing education and
assistant professor of mathematics.And I
taught.Actually, most administrators
taught one course per semester.We only
did that for two or three years. It was
just too crazy.”
Over a nine-year span Kochey
served as registrar, director of admissions, head of human resources and
dean of students.
“Nine years of administration
convinced me that this place is here for
one reason,” Kochey says.“We’re a teaching company. I know someone’s got to
push the papers and get the people on
record. I respect that, but I just wanted
to go back to the classroom.” By the fall
of 1976, he was teaching full time.
Kochey is nostalgic about those
early years of teaching. He has fond
memories of the Vietnam vets who,
because they knew what they wanted
and were willing to work for it, were a
stabilizing influence in his classes. He
remembers spring semesters and afterschool flag football games and the students who got such a kick out of ‘whipping our butts.’
And of course, he remembers the
old wooden buildings.“I loved teaching
in them,” he says.“But I guess they
weren’t the best image for us.All the
concrete of the new structures didn’t
make for the prettiest thing, but we sort
of became a ‘real college’ because now
we had these big buildings.”
The academic turf was fertile but
the physical campus, with a relative
handful of trees, seemed barren. In
1983, Kochey and his wife Sharon, a
1969 graduate of the College, established an endowment with the NCC
Foundation for the greening of
Northampton.“Sharon and I believe that
people are affected by their surroundings,” says Kochey.“We wanted to make
a contribution that would literally grow.
This is a great piece of land.We set up
the landscaping endowment specifically
11
to enhance the beauty of the place.”
But Kochey and his wife didn’t
forget to enhance the student body as
well.A second endowment focuses on
scholarships for part-time students, with
a preference given to single parents.
“Being a single parent is tough,” Kochey
says.“Dealing with kids, maybe a
divorce, possibly the loss of a spouse —
we’re just trying to give them a break.”
After an odyssey of more than 30
years, Kochey retired in 1999 with the
honored title, professor emeritus of
mathematics.
“I take so much with me,” he says.
“During the past few years I was fortunate to spend time teaching on the
Monroe campus.The camaraderie up
there and the relative small size of the
campus remind me of the early days
down here.
“I’ve also been fortunate to work
under two really good presidents. Dick
Richardson was the first. He got it started.And Bob Kopecek moved us up
many levels.And of course, I’ve taught
thousands of students who have given
me so many memories.This college is
a major part of my life. I could never
forget it.”

FROM THE CHAIRMAN
“You can make a difference
if you link your life to a worthy institution
that will live on when you are gone.”
— Olan Hugh Runnels
I
f this year is any measure, clearly, many supporters of Northampton Community College have taken
the sentiments expressed in that quotation to heart. For, by every measure, this past year has been
a good one for the Northampton Community College Foundation. Our annual fund has set new
records. Efforts in Monroe County to raise local support for the expansion of the Monroe Campus exceeded
our expectations, and our planned and major gifts initiative is beginning to bear fruit. In total, the
Foundation will have been the recipient of more than $1,800,000 in gifts and pledges this year.
For all of this, we need to pause, reflect and say thank you.
We also need to report to you on how you are making a difference. This report strives to do just
that. You’ll see a financial statement detailing the numbers side of this equation. Of more interest to me,
however, is the human side of Northampton Community College. We've tried to put a face to the institution
you’ve been supporting in three ways. First, we've featured profiles on some of the College’s earliest graduates. They'll share with you what it was like when Northampton Community College consisted of ‘barracks’
in the cornfields and they'll tell you how proud they are of its growth and development. Fast forward to
the year 2000 and we’ll introduce you to some of the College’s incoming freshmen. Interspersed throughout
you’ll see how some individuals are making a difference in the life of the College through the financial
support they give and you’ll learn what motivates them to do so. All three groups have compelling stories
to tell.
These accounts tell me that Northampton Community College is a dynamic, entrepreneurial institution
with a “pioneering” spirit. In short, it’s a College worthy of the community’s support.

DONOR PROFILE
LOIS LENEHAN ...
teacher, traveler, philanthropist
J A M E S W. H A R P E R
in a public school in Richmond, Mass. She has also taught
sociology at Berkshire Community College.
Lois loves to travel, but her travels generally relate to
service; she has done archeology digs in St. Kitts and in
Scotland. (Her photo in this article shows her in Paris.)
Thanks to sisters Lois and Carolyn, donor interest and
student need have come together at Northampton. This
kind of support provides continuing opportunities for
students who consider their calling to be in the allied
health fields.
L
ois Lenehan has a commitment to education.
It parallels her commitment to giving. So it may not
seem unusual that she would establish a scholarship fund
for allied health students at Northampton Community
College. But Lois lives in Lenox, Mass.
There are special ties that bind, however. Lois’ sister,
Carolyn Brady, serves as Northampton’s director of counseling and support services. And since the Lenehan Family
Trust established an endowed scholarship at the University
of Rhode Island (the alma mater of Lois’ husband), Carolyn
suggested helping students who choose the community
college path for education and career. Carolyn also knew
that one of her sister’s interests is providing help for
women entering allied health professions.
“Lois has always been interested in giving,” Carolyn
said. “She gives not only of her resources but also gets
personally involved. She has, for instance, volunteered her
services in Mississippi to help develop nutrition programs
for low income pregnant women.”
Lois Lenehan is a graduate of Rhode Island College
and earned her master’s degree from the University of
Massachusetts. Currently, she is president of the Lenox
planning board and serves on that community’s library
board.
Her professional career has led her into the classroom. She now teaches seventh and eighth grade science

DONOR PROFILE
First an Innovator,
Now a Major Benefactor
BY MICHAEL NAGEL
Pennsylvania.
Buzas
and his wife,
Jennie, established the
August J. Buzas
Scholarship
endowment
in 1988 to
assist students
pursuing
careers in
chemistry,
information
sciences or
related fields.
“Success in
these fields
requires discipline and persistence,” says Buzas,“far from being oldtech, chemistry is as timely as ever. Most of the developments in information science would not have been possible without chemists.”
“I came from a family farm to the lab with the help of
others, most notably my father. Our goal in establishing
this fund is to give others a similar opportunity.”
G
us Buzas is a passionate advocate for education. Once
you touch on this favorite subject, there’s no stopping
him.“I like schools,” he says, simply and without apology.
As a founding member of the Bethlehem Area School
District, Buzas has a knack for encouraging innovation and
risk-taking, whether in education or in business. While a
school director for Bethlehem Township in the late 1950s,
he became concerned by the lack of secondary school
options in the district.
Buzas already had a history as an innovator in the
chemical industry, having developed a process for extracting water-soluble chlorophyll from green plants; chlorophyll remains the active ingredient in Chlorets chewing
gum. Buzas also developed the Lehigh Valley Chemical
Company into a multi-national supplier of high purity
chemicals used in manufacturing silicone chips.
Based on his experience in business, Buzas knew
there was strength in numbers. “I felt that our students
couldn’t help but benefit from a combined school district.
By all measures: diversity of people and experience, facilities and the tax base, I felt that doing our very best
required that we combine these smaller local districts into
a larger entity.” His efforts have left a legacy to students in
Bethlehem and served as a model for other districts in

Sound like a too-good-to-be true employment package thanks to today’s hot economy? Believe it or not, these
benefits were incentives offered to some prospective dental
hygienists in Lehigh Valley area offices during the late 1960s.
Dr.Arnold Cook of Bethlehem remembers how hard it was
to find a qualified dental hygienist to work in the area, largely because there were no local schools to train them.“There
was Temple, the University of Pennsylvania and the
University of Pittsburgh,” said Cook, speaking from a small
conference room in his office.“And a lot of their graduates
stayed in those areas after their programs. It was almost
impossible to find candidates around here.”
It’s one of the many reasons Cook, an orthodontist for
more than 40 years, helped found the dental hygiene program at Northampton Community College in the late 60s.
Still, the congenial man attributes his leadership role to “just
dumb luck.”
“In ’67 or ’68 I was president of the Lehigh Valley
Dental Society, which was a combination of three cities’
societies: Bethlehem, Easton and Allentown,” Cook remembers.“A local dentist told me a new college was being built
and asked me what I thought of having a dental hygiene
program there. I said,‘As president, I appoint you to check it
out.’ Pretty much, that was it.”
From his delegation of duties sprang an unexpected
long standing relationship between Cook and Northampton
Community College. In order to open a respectable dental
hygiene program, money had to be raised — and lots of it.
Cook headed up the charge.
“I asked [the College] what they’d need and they said
$100,000,” he said.“We found out that if we gave money
directly to the school, the state would reduce the amount it
was going to pay, but if we gave money to a foundation, the
state would match the funds. So then we said,‘Let’s form a
foundation.’”
In June 1969, the Northampton Community College
Foundation got off the ground. Soon after, Cook took the
helm as its second chairman, a post he held for five years.
And his fundraising skills? “If I was going to do it, I was
going to do it right,” he said.“I remember a speech I gave to
the board — I said how much money we needed and said
to all of them,‘you’ve got to either get money or give
money.’ I remember giving it and I think one-third of my
board of directors resigned! Maybe not that many, but it
was so funny!”
The Philadelphia native’s involvement with the school
didn’t stop at the Foundation. In 1979, Cook, along with his
brother Edward (a fellow dentist and business partner),
established the first endowment at Northampton. In addition, Cook served on the College’s board of trustees, representing the Bethlehem School District for about 17 years.
His dedication earned him the title of trustee emeritus at
the College.
“I remember when they said they’d like me to come on
board as a trustee.They said basically all you had to do was
come to one meeting a month or something like that. But
then I became involved in a search for a president and I was
there three nights a week. It was a riot! All of a sudden I
think I lived at the school,” Cook said with a laugh.

“Education Makes All the Difference”
BY MICHAEL NAGEL
moved to the Poconos, where her career continued to
evolve. She became general manager and then part owner
of a station in the Stroudsburg area before leaving broadcasting four years ago.
“Radio is a continuous business and I moved to
Stroudsburg to be closer to work. It didn’t take long to
fall in love with the area. People in this area are very
generous in supporting causes that enhance our community and bring people together. I soon found myself
involved in the effort to establish a Northampton
Community College campus in Monroe County,” said
Starner. In addition to her founding role, Starner currently
serves as a college trustee.
Having completed one career in radio, Starner is in
the process of developing a second career as a photographer, and her work can be found in local galleries.The
pursuit of her second career has brought her full circle
back into the classroom.“I enjoy learning and can’t imagine a time when I stop learning. No matter what you’ve
done or what you know, there’s always something more
before you.”
Sue and her husband, Ray J. Starner, found inspiration
in their personal history to endow a scholarship through
the Northampton Community College Foundation.“Both
of us attended four-year colleges, mostly through student
loans and a modest scholarship, in my case,” said Starner.
“In addition, we both worked multiple and sometimes simultaneous jobs while in college. Ray and I
believe that education has been a key to our success.
We both feel really fortunate that we were able to get
through school, pay back the loans and have terrific
careers. I’m a big believer in the idea that to whom much
is given, much is expected and we simply wanted to be
able to say to others that education is important and offer
them a helping hand.”
F
or Sue LaRose Starner, education proved to be the key
to opportunity for her career.
“I graduated from Moravian College with a double
major in English and German literature and a minor in
music. My first job out of college was in radio, which
might be attributable to my interest in music,” said
Starner. Starner started at a radio station in New Jersey
and then moved to the Lehigh Valley where she participated in the inauguration of WLEV FM-96. She eventually

What Do Cars, Dancing,Theater Have in Common?
Carl Mancino
BY JAMES L. JOHNSON,
’89
I
n the days of ducktails
and hotrod Chevys,
television’s American
Bandstand wasn’t exactly a
’50s version of a website for
teens. But it was just as cool.
High schoolers loved to watch
the cats and chicks bopping at
the hop. Carl Mancino ’75 was
one of the cats they watched.
“My buddy and I started
going when we were in ninth
grade,” says Mancino.“That was
when the show was local, out
of Philadelphia. Bob Horn was
host then.We went once or
twice a week for years, even
after it went national and Dick
Clark took over as host.The
cutoff was 17, but we still got
in a couple of years past that.”
Mancino burned up a lot
of dance floors on the local
scene as well. Summer nights
found him filling his dance
card at all the hot spots:Willow
Park, Bangor Beehive, Notre
Dame, Castle Gardens.
Although Mancino won his share of
dance contests, his main reason for
being on the floor was always just to
groove. But that pure love of the flying
feet made some trouble for him with a
local radio station.
“I’d won a local twist contest,”
Mancino explains. “I was supposed to
represent the station that sponsored it
by doing the twist on Bandstand. But
Dick wouldn’t let me dance the whole
show if I was to be highlighted like
that. So I said ‘well, then I don’t want
to do that, let me dance the show,’ and
he nixed the twist spot and let me
dance.The radio station, and the DJ,
who was well-known in the Valley —
wow, were they mad at me.”
Mancino’s independent spirit no
doubt helped to make him a successful
36
entrepreneur. Opening
his first hair salon in
1964, he has grown his
business to include two
hair cutteries, Imperial
Coiffures and Kids
Kuts, at three locations
in Easton,Allentown
and Newtown. In 1982
he turned a 175 yearold gristmill in
Nazareth into the popular Inn at Heyers’ Mill.
“It’s a bed and breakfast,” says Mancino.“We
also do weddings and
private parties.We’ve
got 40 acres, a Victorian
house and guests from
all over the country.
We even have guests
from Europe.”
As busy as life is,
Mancino still makes
time for dancing and
acting and singing
and, for the past 10
years, directing. “I love
being up on the stage,
especially musicals,”
he says.“Directing is a
lot of fun though. I’ve directed “Bells
Are Ringing,” “42nd Street,” “Barnum,”
“Chicago” and
quite a few more.This fall I’m directing
Oliver, for the Municipal Opera
Company. Each one takes about 10
weeks of rehearsal.With everything
else going it gets pretty crazy sometimes. But when you see it all come
together, it’s such a great feeling.”
